N-Acylsulfonamide herbicidal antidotes

ABSTRACT

Described herein are herbicidal compositions comprised of a thiocarbamate or haloacetanilide herbicide and an antidotally effective amount of an N-acylsulfonamide compound corresponding to the formula   &lt;IMAGE&gt;   in which R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, methyl, chloro, acetamido, and 1-4 carbon alkoxyamido; R1 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, allyl, and metal ion; R2 is selected from the group consisting of 1-10 carbon alkyl, 1-4 carbon haloalkyl, 2-4 carbon alkenyl, 2-4 carbon haloalkenyl, acetonyl, 1-6 carbon alkoxy, 1-4 carbon alkoxycarbonyl, 1-4 carbon alkylthioalkyl, alkoxyalkyl, O,O-dialkylphosphorodithioylalkyl, phenyl, halophenyl, halophenylthioalkyl, cyclohexanedione, and dimethyl barbituric acid; or R1 and R2 together with the carbonyl group to which R2 is attached are selected from the group consisting of succinimide, substituted succinimide, phthalimide, and substituted phthalimide.
